WARNING:
To prevent personal injury or equipment damage, risk identification must be completed before hoisting.
Possible risks to account for:
 During operation, the crane can crush or impact the human body.
 Crane hook overloading fracture due to lifting when the sling has slipped out of the hook.
 Heavy objects that fall during lifting cause impact and can rebound when they hit the ground, causing injury.
 Accidental contact between spreader or sling and conductive slip line.
 The ruck crane working site ground is not smooth and/or the support is unstable.
 The crane overturns due to the weight being imbalanced or the heavy weight exceeding the rated lifting weight.
 Excessive wind.
 Illegal operation causes the crane to overturn.
 People standing under the boom and other dangerous areas.
 A person standing or sitting on a hook.
 If people remain in the working area during lifting, the crane parts and other heavy objects can swing and strike
pedestrians.
 The crane and other operators are not wearing safety helmets and other PPE.
 The driver's cab glass is not cleaned, resulting in unclear vision.
 The driver has poor communication with the lead personnel and/or misunderstands the hoisting signal.
 The hanging method is incorrect, causing heavy objects to fall out from the hook.
 The sling used exceeds the safety factor.
 The wire rope jumps out of the pulley groove.
 Brake cracks or breaks due to excessive wear on friction gasket.
